The property features crisp white-washed walls and 19 bedrooms arranged around three courtyards. Guests can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, complemented by a rooftop terrace with a hot tub during warmer months.
Comfortable Accommodations
The 19 air-conditioned rooms include eight standard bedrooms, four Junior Suites, and two apartments with two bedrooms each. Each room offers free WiFi, safes, and en suite bathrooms with showers. Certain rooms feature seating areas or private balconies overlooking the patio.
Dining & Local Flavors
Karmela's restaurant serves traditional Moroccan cuisine accompanied by local wines. Guests can also enjoy meals on the rooftop terrace or request traditional Moroccan home cooking. Nearby dining options include Café Des Epices and Le Trou Au Mur.
Wellness & Relaxation
The resort features a spa offering massages and a summer plunge pool in the courtyards. Guests can relax in cozy lounges with log fireplaces or explore the Medina with guided tours. The rooftop terrace also provides lounge areas for relaxation.
Central Medina Location
Riad Karmela is located an 8-minute walk from Jemaa El Fna square and close to the Museum of Marrakech. Grand Taxis are available within an 18-minute walk. The property offers one free airport transfer for stays of three nights or more.
“In the heart of the Medina, this property strikes a harmonious balance, placing guests within an eight-minute walk of Jemaa El Fna square yet offering a tranquil escape from the bustling souks. The allure of a rooftop terrace, complete with a plunge pool and hot tub, adds to its appeal as a serene retreat; the traditional restaurant, featuring locally sourced dishes, promises an authentic Moroccan culinary experience. This is a place where cultural immersion meets relaxation.”
